Tripeptide amides that block viral infectivity and methods of use thereof

Abstract

Embodiments relate to the discovery that tripeptide amides, which correspond to viral capsid sequences, can be used to inhibit viral infection, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. More specifically, medicaments comprising tripeptide amides and methods of using said compounds for the prevention and treatment of viral infection, such as HIV infection, are provided.
